Parsons Lake is one of three natural gas fields proposed
for development as part of the Mackenzie Gas Project, to deliver
sweet natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) to market.
The Parsons Lake field is located at Parsons Lake in the
Northwest Territories, about midway between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk.
ConocoPhillips Canada (North) Limited (ConocoPhillips), a
wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ConocoPhillips Canada
Limited, and ExxonMobil Canada Properties (ExxonMobil) propose
to develop natural gas and NGLs from Significant Discovery
Licences (SDLs) 32 and 30 (the Parsons Lake field).
ConocoPhillips, the field operator, holds 75% of the Parsons
Lake field and ExxonMobil holds 25%. In October 2004, ConocoPhillips,
on its own behalf and on behalf of ExxonMobil, submitted the
development plan for the Parsons Lake field to the National
Energy Board (NEB) for approval under the Canada Oil and Gas
Operations Act (COGOA).
ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil's predecessors companies starred
acquiring 2-D seismic data on the Parsons Lake field in the
late 1950s. Some of this seismic exploration led to drilling
the Parsons F-09 well, the discovery well for the Parsons
Lake field, in 1972. The Parsons F-09 well and subsequent,
now abandoned, delineation wells resulted in SDLs 32 and 30
being issued in 1988. ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil also conducted
a major 3-D seismic program over the Parsons Lake field in
winter 2001–2002.
Based on their most recent interpretations of the exploration
data, the proponents estimate that the Parsons Lake field
could contain about 64 Gm 3 (2.3 Tcf) of recoverable
raw natural gas and NGLs.
The development plan describes the general approach to developing
the natural gas resource from the Parsons Lake field. Included
in this development plan is a summary of the environmental
and socio-economic impact assessments and public consultation
programs completed for the proposed Parsons Lake development.
